Julian,
Are you implying that the German sportsmen who competed
with swastikas on their uniforms were expressing admiration and
kinship for the Anasazi or the Hindus?
We all know that the symbol has been used by many cultures
for thousands of years but the original point concerned its
specific use (and meaning) on German uniforms during the 20th
century.
Cheers,
Fred
